Hi Michael. I'm a sub, not a Domme, and can't help you in the capacity that you are looking for, but may I recommend you try Second Life? If you've never heard of it, it's not actually a "sex site"; it's more of a virtual reality world. You may see it as a "game", which I know you are *not* wanting, but it might be a good place to find a woman who is looking for a male sub. You create an avatar (like a virtual version of yourself) and then you can meet other avatars. Lots of people have met in Second Life and taken it into real life, so it's worth a try. Oh, and it's FREE!!

www.secondlife.com (scroll down the page to the bottom and click the downloads link)
Create a first name for your avatar (a lower case first name is a "secret signal" that you are submissive) and choose a last name from the pulldown menu
Confirm your account
Enter Second Life (the orientation is kind of hokey....once you get through it, click the Help Island sign)
After you get to Help Island, open up search and click the Groups tab. Put in key words like "domme" or "mistress" or "BDSM"
Good clubs to try are "House of V" and "Bound and Determined"
Join the groups and teleport to the clubs!
Good luck!

If you are looking for someone on Tribe you might want to make your profile say something about yourself. Spend a little time and effort to let someone know why they might be interested in you.

Oregon has a kink scene, from what I understand. Are you active in it? Did you attend Kinkfest? You say that you're wililng to relocate: does that mean that you visit local scenes nearby? Do you get to San Francisco very often, or up to Seattle? Are you known at all in either city?

Ripley: "I'm feeling a bit like a fifth wheel. Is there anything I can do?"
Apone: "I don't know. IS there anything that you can do?"

What, exactly, are your skills? You say that you're well-educated, so presumably you've written a resume or cirriculum vitae before. What is your service resume? What do you know how to do? What classes have you taken to hone your skills? Massage? Administrative assistance? CPR? Yard work? First aid? Computer geek? Manicures? Pedicures? Automotive care and repair? Cooking either for gourmets or specialized diets? Clothing design and construction? Chaueffeuring? Musician? Bodyguarding? General handyman? Personal trainer? What, exactly, are you going to do that will make your dominant's life easier? What classes or workshops are you planning to enroll in to increase your skill set while continuing on your search for this woman?

What is your experience like? Who have you served under already, even temporarily? Are they willing to be referrals for you?

If women are indeed the bosses, you may want to work on your resume and start applying for positions more effectively. Good luck! :)
